Also, we have a program option for existing Laser Tag or family entertainment businesses that wish to convert to the Ground Zero system; financial incentives are available for conversion franchisees. Above all, we expect franchise owners or their operating partners to have great sales, customer relations, and supervisory skills; solid business management experience; and a strong and honest work ethic.
